Is there a way to autoformat DSL files using the command line? [message #1854432] Thu, 18 August 2022 12:54 Go to next message

To keep consistent code formatting, I'd like to have a CI job which validates that all xText DSL files are correctly formatted.

For Java files I'm using "eclipsec.exe -application org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter -config org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs ." and I'm validating that this command didn't change any source file.

Is there a similar command to apply formatting on all the DSL files?

you would need to implement a java main doing it yourself

Ok, thanks! It worked.

In the end I used something like (having a model and a common DSL language):
ModelStandaloneSetup.doSetup();
CommonStandaloneSetup.doSetup();
Injector INJECTOR = new CommonStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
ResourceSet rs = INJECTOR.getInstance(XtextResourceSet.class);
URI uri = URI.createFileURI("path to dsl file");
Resource resource = rs.getResource(uri, true);
FormatterRequest formatterRequest = new FormatterRequest();
formatterRequest.setEnableDebugTracing(true);
((MapBasedPreferenceValues) formatterRequest.getPreferences()).put("indentation", "    ");
TextRegionAccessBuilder textRegionAccessBuilder = new TextRegionAccessBuilder();
ITextRegionAccess access = textRegionAccessBuilder.forNodeModel((XtextResource) resource).create();
formatterRequest.setTextRegionAccess(access);
List<ITextReplacement> replacements = formatter.format(formatterRequest);
String formatted = formatterRequest.getTextRegionAccess().getRewriter().renderToString(replacements);
